Carlos Gomez and Jacobo Busto take over management of finleap connect Iberia

Madrid / Hamburg, February 24th, 2022 - Effective immediately, Carlos Gomez and Jacobo Busto are the new Managing Directors of finleap connect in Iberia in order to continue to expand the business in Iberia at full strength. They succeed previous General Manager Spain Ignacio Garcia, who will in future fully focus on his role as Chief Strategy Officer of finleap connect. 

finleap connect’s internationalisation efforts have been focussed on Spain and Portugal, two very successful Open Banking markets.  Since acquiring Spanish Open Banking provider MyValue Solutions to reinforce its presence in Iberia in July 2021, finleap connect has since taken the essential steps for a successful integration of MyValue Solutions’ technologies, solutions and products into its platform, in which Gomez and Busto  played vital roles. Both will drive the further expansion in Iberia and implement the combined technology and product suite together.
